XXXX wasn't rejected by Victorians.

The story goes that when they increased the strength of their beer years ago from XXX to XXXX (the x's used to show the strength of the beer) the Victorian Government went to increase the excise. The owners, based in Castlemaine, Victoria said 'stuff' that and moved to Queensland. The current XXXX branding is a deliberate 'up yours' to the Victorian government.

End of class.

It could be a reshell into a Choke with a few key bits of a deceased 81 Moke attached....

EDIT: I'd drink my own water before I'd drink XXXX.
